Maroof Farooq comes to the United States, supposedly looking for a better life... but for a guy like him, that comes in the form of trying to lure a twelve year old for anal sex. Yeah, not exactly the ideals inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, is it?

Maroof showed up at our Long Beach Dateline sting operation, which means he got the "Long Beach Special." Fortunately, it looks like the "Special" might have a good dessert along with it. We can only hope.

He gets the usual three years probation, lifetime sex offender registration, sixty days of picking up garbage along the freeway and a year of sexual assault counseling. However, there's a strong possibility that our pal Farooq may also be deported afterwards. Cross your fingers.

This is our 192nd conviction since June of 2004 and our 71st conviction for 2007 so far.
